Contributing on SIG Network

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in contributing to SIG Network. Here we cover all things networking within and around Kubernetes clusters. This SIG covers a lot of ground, see our charter and our README.md for more details. If you get stuck please feel free to reach out for help in our #sig-network channel on Kubernetes Slack!

For Kubernetes Code Contributions

See the Kubernetes Contributor Guide.

For Enhancements

Firstly find out [if your thing is an enhancement].

Once you're sure your thing is in fact an enhancement, you can follow the standard Kubernetes Enhancement Proposal (KEP) procedures.

Note: This process can be a huge time investment and you should deeply consider that before you start the process. Depending on what it is, it can potentially take years to achieve.

Important: Additional "getting started" guidance

In SIG Network we highly recommend staying away from "How will this be implemented?" at first. Instead, focus on these things first:

  • "What?": What is this at a high level? Without getting into implementation details, what does it achieve? What are the goals?
  • "Why?": Why do we need this? What motivates this? Is this generally applicable?
  • "Who?": Who else in the community needs this? Who can join us in making this KEP a success?

Note: Ultimately the "Who?" is an extremely important question. If you have 1 or more (ideally at least 2) other community members who are on board and can help you move the KEP forward, this can be a tremendous boon.

Get consensus on the "What?", "Why?" and "Who?" first, avoiding discussion of "How?" it can be done (if feasible) until there's broad consensus that we have the appropriate goals and motivation covered to do it. Join us in the community and discuss your ideas ahead of time!
